Interesting. lacking data (again) never know what % of dx people end up in hospitals. I've tried to unweave the data the CDC puts out and while it contains some info there is no way to correlate it to state data. Some it's possible yet the CDC publishes ( https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/county-map.html ) number ranges that are too wide:

i.e.
0
<20
21 - 58
59 - 181
182 - 407
408 - 1,193
1,194 - 2,390
2,391 - 35,329

Regardless here is a lot of info on the pages, no way to verify some.
per chance if the actual info is something held tight for some reason it's beginning to show.
There are too many countries where the %'s do not align to draw conclusions.

Seems while we are being consumed by cheerleading and infighting the real business of dealing with the bug, economic fallout and long-term mitigation are being lost.
